What does this measure do?
Doubles the amount of farm and timber land one owner can enroll in Georgia's conservation-use program, from 2,000 to 4,000 acres; enrolled land is taxed at 40% of its value under a 10-year covenant. Large landowners would pay less property tax, and counties would collect less.
